The latest research proves, that person, which lead a lifestyle “Owls”, they get tired much later, than getting up at dawn “larks”. In an experiment conducted at the Belgian University of Liege, subjects were asked to perform tasks measuring reaction times and attention., while maintaining a normal lifestyle and normal times of going to bed and getting up. Tests showed, that after 10 hours after waking up, “Owls” performed computer tasks faster and more efficiently, while “larks” they were sleepier and had trouble concentrating, although the subjects in both groups were comparably rested. Other studies prove, that “Owls” are more intelligent than “larks” and have a better memory and a more vivid mind. According to experts, split into “Owls” i “larks” it has its roots in prehistoric times, when the primitive people responsible for obtaining food broke up at dawn, while the people assigned to guard the cave were on watch until late at night.
Probably from this period comes the common misconception that was common until recently, as it turns out, that “larks” are hardworking people, while “Owls” they are lazy and sleepy.
